Can I just say I've been going to this place forever. I love it. I recommend the spicy seafood and noodle soup. It's great on cold days like today, it really hits the spot. I love their kimchee to its sooooo good. I really recommend this place if you want great food at great prices. read more

A hidden gem. My family has been coming to this restaurant since I can remember. Now that I have a family of my own, I want to continue that tradition. My fiancé was hooked on our first date here. The quality of the food and the service are always excellent. My favorite has always been the Mongolian beef and chicken wings. We live quite far from the restaurant now which makes it such a treat (and adventure) when we do get to have it. read more

If you are looking for Shangdong Style Chinese(Korean-Chinese) food, this is the place to go. They have great Jjajangmyung and Jjamppong!

Great place for lunch! It is so cheap and fast. The sizzling rice soup is excellent and the lunch specials are great. There's always interesting clientle and the staff is friendly and sweet. read more

OMG. I almost don't want to yelp this place because I don't want it to become overcrowded but WOW. Hands down best spicy fried chicken, sweet and sour pork, and black bean noodles I've ever had...which is saying a lot because I'm Korean and from California. Come check it out for yourself. Portions are HUGE. I came with my boyfriend and we eat a lot but had plenty of leftovers when we ordered the 3 dishes. It could comfortably feed 3 or even 4. Service was quick and efficient :) will be back soon! read more

This place was pretty nasty. None of our dishes had much flavor. The lo mein had a "different" type of texture. The egg rolls were flavorless and over-cooked. S&S chicken was pretty blah. Done. read more

Probably my favorite Chinese food in the city. Inside its not too shabby, but when your in the mood for some good greasy Chinese comfort food this is the place! Most people in this area flock to great seas for the famous lollipop wings, but this place should not be overlooked. Their version of the lollipop wings are very good too, but my 2 go to dishes would have to be the boneless sweet and spicy chicken and the Mongolian beef (extra spicy). The portions are huge and the two dishes can probably stretch another 1 or 2 meals. read more

As per recommendations by fellow yelp reviewers, I tried sweet and sour pork, the chicken wings and the black bean noodles. I didn't like the black bean noodles. However, the people were right..the portion sizes are way too large and I couldn't finish the black bean noodles even though I was sharing with my sister. The sweet and sour pork & the chicken wings are really delicious. However, I only tried a few pieces because I was full..So beware of the large food portions. I am going back again and again. Friendly staff :) Nothing to complain (although I wish they would not give me ice water) read more

Good seafood noodle soup better than other ones i've tried before

Amazing food! And BYOB but there is not a bottle opener in the house. They will look at your bottle of wine as if it's a novelty item.

Where should I start with this review? This is my favorite restaurant, I guess I have more of a personal connection to it, but anyone I bring there cannot deny that the food there is beyond fantastic. I strongly recommend ordering the beef (or shrimp if you are into that) fried rice and wonton soup. Employees will not hesitate to adjust your food to fit more to your liking like getting rid of bean sprouts from your already delicious rice or adding extra baby corn to your scrumptious wonton soup. That's all I'm gonna say for now, just check it out because it's a 10/10. read more

I was the only Westerner at lunch which is a good sign. Tasty cashew chicken but a little too salty. It smells really "different" when you walk in but as soon as the food came out I was happy. read more

This rating is based only on the jja jang myun and jjam pong. Very good compared to most other korean restaurants in Chicago , but pales in comparison to the "real stuff" that you can easily find for $7-8 in other cities like Toronto, NYC, LA. I guess beggars can't be choosers, right? Noodles were pretty good, but not chewy as they should be. Too much jja jang myun sauce, and too many filler vegetables in the jjam pong -- it's supposed to be brimming with seafood, not cabbage. However, it does earn 3 stars for Chicago. And the eggrolls were pretty delicious too. read more

Love this place! This is where I go to get my jajanmyun + tangseeu fix. Also really enjoy the Spiced fried pork as well. Tea/White rice is complimentary (as it should be!) and the service is actually really friendly and nice (they speak English, Chinese, Korean, Spanish very well). The food has been consistent over the past three years I've been going, which I find very impressive. No frills or fluff, just good Korean-Chinese comfort food. read more

By far the best Chinese food I've ever had. Beef with broccoli, spicy chicken, and seriously the best egg rolls on this planet. I have not been able to find any place since going here that has better Chinese. I live in the suburbs of Chicago and will gladly travel 45 mins to this place. You have to try it. read more

These mfs are expensive and have mediocre food. I can go to Chinatown & get authentic food, large portions, & the food is awesome for the highway robbery prices they're charging. No thanks read more

its famous for its "alitas" we all gatta agree on that! ;) been coming here for the last 10 yrs i recommend the sizzing soup, spicy bean curd for the vegeterian its really good., and ofcourse the spicy fried chicken wings, extra spicy for me! :D read more

Super good noodles and very friendly environment. I had Joong Pang all over the country and the joong pang here is among the best. Definitely best in chicago no matter you are looking for korean or chinese flavor. read more

I have had a few ups and downs with this place, but after learning more about the menu I have nothing horrible to say. When I used to eat meat my favorite dishes were the Hot Wing (in a chili sauce), the mongolian beef served spicy, and the combanation fried rice. However now that I am vegan I realize exactly how accomidating they are. I asked the waitress if the cook could do a vegan variation on the mongolian beef. She came back to the table with Mongolian broccoli with garlic, bell pepers, and bok choy served over rice. It was awesome. I would recommend that anyone try it atleast once.... meat eaters and vegans alike. read more

I love this place! I haven't actually gone to eat over there yet but I do order from there constantly & I love their wings & their shrimp fried rice! Honestly would recommend! read more

First time trying this place. We didn't call ahead and ordered it to go. I ordered a combination fried rice and egg rolls. It looks somewhat pleasing to the eye but everything was super bland, mostly colorless and I'm pretty sure they use frozen peas & carrots in the rice. I had to use a lot of soy sauce in the rice and load my egg rolls in sweet/sour sauce & chili sauce to liven it up. I bit into some chicken tendons. That was not helpful either. I can't speak to their entrees but their fried rice and egg rolls were a no go for me. read more

this place feels like an asian/mexican diner.. it's pretty sweet because I never see any place like that around this side of chicago. only reason why i say mexican though is because of the workers and patrons. food is really good. i'm between great beijing and here for jjajangmyun.. so good. this place is more watery/less oily with plenty of veggies and meat per bite. i give it 5 stars because i'm very satisfied with the portion, taste, and service. quick to respond with your requests (WATER!). best of all, the asian owner(?) that can fluently speak english, chinese, spanish, and korean.. and has the charm of a diner server. quaint. read more

Best Jjajangmyun, Korean style black bean noodles, I be had in Chicago. Da batter fried sweet and sour pork is right on da money. Git da sauz on the side if you don't like the crispy exterior to get soggy. Da jjampong is also beast, spicy seafood noodle soup. Comes with spicy pickled cabbage and pickled yellow radish. Holla atchyo gurl. read more

See all

If you've never had Korean-Chinese cuisine before, this is a good place to try it. Korean-Chinese cuisine is not something you can find at either Korean or a Chinese restaurant, it's a special subset, a cuisine all its own. I love their jajamyung (black bean sauce noodles). Sweet and sour shrimp is also good. Sweet and sour pork is good. Jjampong (spicy seafood noodle soup) is great. read more

I would give this review a 5 star but the only thing that makes it a 4 is the fact that one or your employees were like touching and rubbing my moms back and saying that he's gonna be my feature dad and that made me feel really uncomfortable. Also the fact that there was a cockroach crawling up the walls was disgusting. read more

When I first moved to Albany Park I tried this restaurant out of pure necessity (it was open late and I wanted Chinese) now I bring anyone I can here. The spicy shrimp and the chicken wings are stand outs. The black bean noodles and spicy sea food soup is phenomenal! read more

Mongolian Beef - AWESOMESAUCE, Chicken Wings - OMG, Chicken Lo Mein - shut the front door - CANNOT STRAY FROM THOSE THREE. Christina who works there is great, she always remembers our order even if I don't. This is the only place I'll go to now when I get that cravin' read more

Unfriendly and unclean. This restaurant needs to be told you can't have a cockroach infestation in your kitchen, before they they correct the problem. here's what the chicago health inspector had to say in the last regular inspection: https://data.cityofchicago.org/health-human-services/peking-mandarin/ihbz-wbwj comments: observed live roach activity inside the food establishment over 50 live infant and adult roaches in multiple areas in kitchen food-prep areas crawling on encrusted walls and floors,inside the upper panel of ice machine parts,crawling on exterior walls of walk-in-cooler,beneath the cutting board at food prep table,behind on floor and on top of the refrigerator beneath the television kitchen area,crawling on interiors of light shields in dishwashing 3 compartment sink area,crawling on cracks/crevices of interior of booth seating areas throughout the customer dining rooms,observed dead roaches in multiple areas of the kitchen/dishwashing 3 compartment sink areas,at front service counter near wait station,dry storage shelving areas.also,over 100 rodent mice droppings throughout cluttered 1st floor rear dry storage room along walls and corners of these areas and side east door to the premises is not rodent-proofed approximately 1/4' mode of entry at bottom of door.instructed to remove pests and pest activity and detail clean and sanitize all affected areas in detail,seal all noticeable openings on walls and kitchen corners and around electrical pipings,pest proof said door all across the bottoms to prevent pest entry,a pest control service is now reccomended. critical violation 7-38-020 read more

Truly 5 stars. Quirky, cool, neighborhood place, but it's the real deal. Best Jjajangmyeon and Mongolian beef I've ever had in Chicago...perhaps anywhere. Service was ok, but the food...wow. read more

Jajangmyun (noodles with black bean sauce) and ggampongi (hot and spicy chicken wing lollipops). This is what to get here. I've been coming here since I was probably 5 years old, and it really hasn't changed much at all. Definitely one of my favorite places to go to for Chinese-Korean food. Fast, simple, delicious. What more do you need? read more

This restaurant could do better with service- you never know when a waitress will actually come by to take your order/check on you- but the food isn't bad. In fact, their seafood noodle soup is one of the best in Chicagoland, and their black bean noodles are also delicious and so much less starchy than what you could get in most other Chinese restaurants. read more

My boyfriend brought me here first the time when we first started dating. It's been almost three years, and I think we have eaten here more than at other restaurant. We've tried a lot of the choices, and they are all delicious. The only bad thing is that they get too busy around a holiday and rush orders, which gets a little confusing if you call your order in like everyone else does. Regardless, the food and service is great! read more

This is definitely not the place to go on a first date. Waitresses are fast and the food is seasoned to perfection. Also, not expensive. I recommend the sizzling soup, beef with vegetables, and combination rice. Everything here tastes amazing and their menu is not over loaded with options. They are very busy here so don't expect waitresses who are going to ago you about your day. Service is fast, but it's a great place for those who are in the neighborhood and starving. ...nothing fancy read more

Their food is so good!! We love this place so much that we have our Thanksgiving Dinner here every year and have been doing this for the past 12 years. read more

Solid Chinese and I'm not much of a Chinese food lover. As others have said the Mongolian Beef is that good- beef is very tender and the favors are spot in. Decor is a mix btw a 70s chinese diner, and an outdated basement- but the food and service is solid. read more

Came here because its close to home and had good yelp reviews. Were not disappointed. Had the crab Rangoon which had a generous amount of filling but breading was dark moat likely from old oil. We did go only one hour before close so if they had a busy day we had the end of the oil used for the day probably. They still tasted good. Same with the egg rolls, but they too tasted good. We had the hot wings #32 on the menu & it was tasty! Free rice & nice hot green tea, I think it tasted like Jasmine green tea which was also good. We will come again for sure to try more things. read more

Maybe we didn't order the right things, but everything was pretty bland. We had the sliced three seafood, cha chiang mein, egg rolls, and black mushrooms with tofu. The egg rolls are home made but need more flavor in our opinion. Food was ready when promised and service was fine. read more

Had the chicken wings with the special sauce . Tasted really good. I want my wings a little dryer . Cooked harder .

The restaurant itself isn't the greatest in the inside, but the food is really good and really inexpensive for the amount and quality you get. Their Mongolian beef is very good, so is their egg drop soup. They don't have a menu you can take with you, so that bugged me. read more

After the million times I've been here, I don't know why I haven't written a review. The food here is pretty good, especially the mangolian beef and the seafood noodle. The dining in experience is OK... It could be better but ehhhh, that doesn't stop me from going and eating the delicious food. read more
